Washington tonight came into Nassau Coliseum to square with their Metropolitan Division foes the New York Islanders for their last game before the 2015 Winter Classic. Despite coming back from a three goal deficit the Caps couldn’t hold off the Isles during an Evgeny Kuznetsov four minute penalty long enough to prevent them from scoring and winning in overtime by a score of 4-3. Washington fa...

Is it plagiarism if it’s your own work you’re ripping off?
Almost exactly one year ago earlier I rolled out my thoughts on the Boston Bruins as they were getting set to face the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the 2011 NHL Playoffs. Just hours away from the puck dropping on Game 1 of the Bruins’ Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series with the Washington Capitals here in the 2012...

The talk in Boston all day Monday leading up to Game 5 of the Bruins’ Eastern Conference Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning was if the Bruins eventually drop the series to the Lightning, they will forever look back upon their blown chance in Game 4 when they let a three goal lead slip away before losing 5-3. There was redemption of sorts for the Bruins in Game 5, however, as Tampa returne...

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. A tale of two halves.
Despite clinching the Northeast Division title with a win over the Atlanta Thrashers their last time out, there was still plenty on the line for both teams as the Boston Bruins traveled to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Rangers on Monday night.
For Boston, they entered the game with four contests left on t...

After taking a vicious slash from Brandon Dubinsky last night, Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli announced tonight that Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk suffered a slight fracture to his left ulna (bone in forearm) in the first period of last night's game with the Rangers. He missed a shift but returned to finish the first period. He did not return for the rest of the game. Boychuk is expected to b...

I posted this earlier today but I was told there are errors when the page gets called up..
Back on North American soil for almost a week, the Bruins had a light week of practice to get their bodies reaclimated to the Easter Time Zone. So what happens when a relatively fresh team goes up against a team playing it's third game in four nights? Add in the fact the Devils couldn't field ...

Back on North American soil for almost a week, the Bruins had a light week of practice to get their bodies reaclimated to the Easter Time Zone. So what happens when a relatively fresh team goes up against a team playing it's third game in four nights? Add in the fact the Devils couldn't field a full squad a couple nights ago due to some real bad handling (even worse than the Bruins?) of ...

Baptized in a firefightHot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practiceAll hell's breaking loose
Megadeth
The CD is “Endgame” and the song is “44 minutes”
If you look at the times of the Bruins first and last goals tonight, the actual amount of time played in the game is 47 minutes and 17 seconds. That's close enough to the 44 minutes the band i...
